Merseth: *picks up one of the swords, seeing writing on it, clearly not English (or Common or whatever)*

[ironsnake345]

"WHAT BEAUTIFUL SCRIPTURE! SADLY, I AM UNFAMILIAR. CAN YOU READ IT, MERSETH?"

[Asin]

Merseth: "It's Dwarven.
It says 'Darkness looms over all. Boatmurdered is no longer.'
Must have been made when it all fell apart..."

[Greatness942]

"So, they were still making weapons when everything was burning? These people must have been suicidal."

Roy walks through the building, looking for anyone who may have settled into the ruins.

((So, what do we do for NPCs? Does the player who "finds" them play as them, or what?))

[Asin]

(Pretty much.)

Merseth: "Well, smoke drove the populace insane. Some were probably still doing their jobs when hell broke loose. It was the people themselves that ended this fortress in a rare event us dwarves call a "tantrum spiral."

[ironsnake345]

"I DO NOT BELIEVE I HAVE HEARD OF SUCH A THING! WHAT IS IT THAT MARKS A 'TANTRUM SPIRAL'?"

((I keep picking trebuchet by accident instead of times new roman. It ain't papyrus, but it's as close as this forum gets I'd say.))

[Greatness942]

"Tantrum spiral?", Roy says, and after Papyrus speaks, he says, "Yes, what causes one of these 'tantrum spirals'?"

[Asin]

Merseth: "Let me give you an example. Say a dwarf had just lost a friend who died in battle. If the dwarf is quick to anger, he smashes a table. The one who made it may break more things, ticking off more and more until a fortress wide brawl occurs. Chaos. They don't happen much anymore..."

(Good night, again.)

[ironsnake345]

"AND THANK HEAVENS THEY DON'T! WHY, IF SUCH CHAOTIC EPISODES WERE COMMONPLACE, THE ENTIRE WORLD WOULD LOOK LIKE MY BROTHER'S BEDROOM! NYEH-HEH-HEH!"

[Imic]

A Tolmekian ship lands, although it's more of a crash then a landing.
The soldiers groggily step out.
They're commander asks a question:
Where are we?

[Asin]

Merseth: "What in the..."

[Rethi-Eli]

((So, what do we do for NPCs?))

*cough*

[Imic]

Oh, I'm sorry. We, er... May have somewhat slightly have destroyed... This wall.
Wait, are we underground?

Either way, I'm very sorry. I am general Dekallata of the seventh Torumekian legion, we were flying over the Periphery, when we... Crashed. Who are you?

[Asin]

Merseth: "I am Merseth Worldchannel, dwarven soldier."

[Imic]

Wonderful. I'm a soldier as well.
he shakes the dwarf's hand.
